Vallet to Chantonnay




Without a detailed map of the area we had to follow the main road to Clisson (10k) and then we had a more detailed map to guide us on our way. Coffee break was spent watching two weddings in a village and we saw more in many villages en route to our destination. How many hills are in 1K? We don't know but today we thought there was a hell of a lot. Arrived in our destination town to discover tourist information office shut. However a very kind elderly gentleman expained several times where our hotel was. Needless to say we only understood 10% which was just as well as our bottoms were beginning to get very sore and we still had a further 5k to travel. The place we are staying in is beautiful and beside River Lay and had a swimming pool which can be seen by photo.

Distance: 74.4K

  1. Your hotel sounds idyllic. You're certainly clocking up the kilometres. Puissance de pedale!

  2. Sounds as if yesterday was a little more gruelling. Well done though and that pool looks as if it was a welcome oasis.
    Hope I've now got the drop on leaving comments.

  3. Well done on your cycling, you have travelled a long distance, the swimming pool looks very nice and i'm sure it was good after a long cycle.
